The new, state-of-the-art playground that opened this week at the Rosecrans Recreation Center, 840 W. 149th St., Harbor Gateway can be used by children of all abilities, but has been specially designed so that it can also accommodate the disabled.

The new recreation area replaced a nearly 20-year-old play structure at the center, near Gardena.

The project is a joint initiative of Boundless Playgrounds, a national nonprofit that builds play areas around the country, the city of Los Angeles, and CVS Caremark All Kids Can Program, which donated $250,000 for the accessible playground equipment.
